Sunday No-Fundays

This semester I'm taking two online MBA courses through the University of Massachusets. So far I've really enjoyed the flexibility of the online format, and if I take only one class per semester (inlcuding summer) I'll be able to finish in a total of four years (and almost for free, thanks to General Mills' education reibursement program!) I took this summer off with the stress of the move, which means I had to take two classes this fall semester to catch up.

Needless to say, I cannot wait for this semester to be over! One of my professors is really demanding, and between the two classes I have about 10 hours of homework per week. Since I already work long hours during the week, and with the exhaustion from the pregnancy, I tend to "save" all of my homework for its due date, which is every Sunday. I would love to adopt the "Just get by and pass" mentality, but I actually have to try because General Mills won't reimburse my tuition if I get less than a B in the course. Ouch! That officially designates this day as "Sunday No-Funday". Oh how I miss the days of Sunday Fundays, Lazy Sundays or Errand/Housecleaning Sundays.

At least I still have my Saturdays. UMass isn't touching those!!
